  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 1 cup dates
  • 1/2 cup pecans
  • 1 large Lovechock chocolate bar (70g)
Cherry Jam
  • 3 cups frozen cherries

Cheese layer

Method
 

Crust
  1. Combine all ingredients for the crust into a high speed blender. The chocolate bar can either be left whole or melted. If left whole, you will have more of a chocolate chunk texture.
  2. Scoop the crust ingredients out and place in a 9" pan with a removable bottom.
Cherry Jam
  1. Place all of the cherry jam ingredients into a blender until smooth.
  2. Reserve 1-2 Tbs. for drizzling over top of the cheese layer.
  3. Pour over top of the crust and smooth the jam out.
  4. Let it sit for 15 minutes for the chia to become "jelly" and then place in the freezer.
Cheese layer
  1. Soak the cashews in boiling water for 20 minutes.
  2. Drain the water and place the cashews in the blender.
  3. Add the remaining ingredients to the blender until smooth.
  4. Pour the cheese layer over the cherry jam and smooth out.
  5. Drizzle the remaining jam over top and swirl with a fork.
  6. Optional: Add chocolate shavings on top.
  7. Place in the freezer for two hours.
